These 555sonnetsare made with found lines and precise measures, a
database and text analytic software. I crunched Shakespeare’s sonnets for word,
syllable and character averages and these are my new measures. The
lines’ oddities are their own, the arrangement is mine. After the text
analytics and data entry, many ways of assembling are found. I hold to the turn
(when I think of it) and that sonnets are poems of a certain size, but
little more. Something in excess of the lines pass through, it’s that I’m
chasing.
